A term life insurance policy is life insurance coverage for a specified length of time usually 5, 10, 20 or 30 years. It is usually purchased with a particular need in mind, such as mortgage protection. Beneficiaries will receive the face value of the policy upon the insureds death. Term life will have the lowest premium, but there is no cash value and if the insured survives the time period, the policy expires. Most policies will have a conversion feature permitting the policy-owner to exchange a term policy for a cash value policy without evidence of insurability.

Universal Life Insurance Policy Information

The interest rate paid on the cash value typically is higher than whole life insurance because they trend with the markets. Premium payments for universal life insurance policies are very flexible. They can be paid monthly with EFT, quarterly, semi-annually or annually. Each month deductions are taken from the cash value and interest and premium payments are added to the cash value. As long as there is sufficient cash value to maintain the monthly costs, the policy will remain in force.
